Top 10 Candy-Colored Refrigerators for the Coolest-Looking Kitchen
Colorful retro-style refrigerators have come a long way since their midcentury heyday. The pretty pastel and brightly colored exteriors remain, but modern editions have improved energy efficiency and storage space (with several even adding on playful extras, like draft beer taps). While some contemporary models have played up the retro fridge’s classically small size to fit tiny spaces, others have expanded to accommodate pizza boxes and a week’s worth of groceries. From mini dorm fridges to gigantic French door models, here are ten of the best colorful fridges.
